This is one of those "old wive's tales" that just won't seem to die. As I said, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. It just gets in my hair when opinions, not backed up by ANY hard evidence, are projected as facts.
Wow it did get your panties in a wad. First off I mentioned that my BDL action is better finished then the SPS I handled. I think that is plenty of hard evidence in my book especially since I have gone out of my way buying Remingtons in about every variation they make. Knowing how Remington has very little quality control or none and how much time the average Remington worker puts into a particular rifle the quality is very inconsistent. A very good friend makes a nice living fixing and upgradingremingtons and making them what they should be and hopefully Remington will continue their downward slide thereby keeping him in business. The last 17 years the quality had just been going steadily downhill with only the good ones being sold to JamesB. I view them as donor actions at bestand that is it just usingthe action and bolt.. I am not even bothering with their floorplates anymore..Now what did you want to hear?
